And yet more ancient history: Naama asked the question in 6231 in
November 2000 and started a lengthy thread called "portkey conundrum,"
In 5928, 2512, and 2427 we debated why we thought the cup portkey worked
at a touch. In 9882 (at the end) and 9254, I put forward much the same
theory that Trina did in hers, about why go through the whole Triwizard
Tourney hoo-ha to get Harry to Voldemort, and when Trina posted it we
discussed it in more depth.

The archives really are a lot of fun, if you browse on one word and go
back far enough (the search starts at the most recent and goes backward,
just keep hitting next until you feel archaic enough and jump in). The
responses show up at the bottom. There's so much in there I've forgotten
about!
